Sorry to trigger you. He is the third highest paid player, and leading goal scorer from last season. If Altidore played three games and did nothing, many here would wonder what was going on.
Two-and-oh to start the season. I think Akinola and Hamilton are going to keep surprising people. They both look pretty much ready for this level now. Akinola is a dangerous player, which a lot of people predicted for him. Pity he's going with the U.S.
Osorio played well today at both ends.
Bradley’s pass to Morrow to set up the winning goal was unbelievable....top rate pass. Way to lead us Captain.
So that was onside because it hit a defender yeh
So all teams need do is put a guy in the other teams box and bounce balls off opponents players
It was weak, but it went off his foot.
Another encouraging team effort with Pozuelo on the horizon. Akinola had an excellent debut.
Observations from the game today.
Good:
Akinola looks a player and is likely our 2nd best striker.
Osorio had an excellent game. So did Bradlley again.
Jozy back in his usual clutch - game winning ways. Huge that he has extended.
Vanney's tactical changes worked.
Bad:
The banter seems to be around Ciman but the real problem was Mavinga. That was one of the worst penalty fouls I have seen in a long time. If not for the recent rule change that was a straight red card and a penalty. He was positively terrible in the first half. Camera caught Friedl telling them to attack Mavinga and that "he can't run". It might be that the injury has finished him? This is the scary point - with the loss of Giovinco & Vaquez we have been distracted to have to shore up that area and strengthen the attack - when the big problem last year was defence. We are one injury to a 35 year old CB away from a catastrophe.
I thought Hamilton was poor & could have done a lot more.
Because we switched to a 3-5-2.
The defender has to play the ball... a deflection doesn't cancel an offside.
Can't judge a team when its best player hasn't played yet and it's second best player has only played 25 minutes. They will add a couple more Tam level players too.
Worst play of the day..... the debacle of the starting 11 intros.
I never said Osorio played badly, he made a few good passes early in the game, and defended at times. But, he is expected to create a lot more around goal, than his first (4) games in 2019 have shown. On that dummy free kick, his job was to one touch it, but he stumbled trying to use hus favoured foot.
Wow.
How has pozuelo going to struggle to replace VV? He's younger and better coming from the same league.
Caldwell is fine he just calls it how he sees it.
Auro and Hamilton are not terrible wtf. Hamilton has two goals so far and in Philly he played well despite not scoring.
Why don't you become an alhilal fan or whatever Giovinco's team is called.
While I somewhat agree, it would appear our subsequent additions are not going to address our defensive bumbles.
Mavinga gets a pass. He’s been around long enough where I believe he will bounce back.
Having to rely on Ciman or Moor not being healthy, that worries me. Well, that and Buno’s consistency. It’s not going to be too much longer for him to sort things out before we actually find another guy to push him for his spot.

Late to this but they are calling it that way in the Premier League too. It’s an absurd interpretation of the rule but that’s how it is being interpreted.
they really botched that tonight
Oso was excellent. One of his best games for the club. So was Bradley. Bossed the game. Chapman, although hesitant a few times early on, also played very well as did de Leon.
its a completely @bsurd interpretation of the rule. They claim FIFA directed this a few years ago - makes no sense given the purpose of the offside rule, but under that interpretation it was correct. I sure hope someone with common sense realizes that it is fundamentally wrong and stops it.
Pretty much but I did like the "legend song" bit. And the Wheeler in house analysis at half time.
The anthems were very good (Natasha (?) is excellent).
I would note the people throwing shirts showed up later for the Viking clap - I'm OK with that in the west.
A fun experience
The team highlight package on Twitter is amusing.

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Why no love for Akinola? He played a very good game.
4 minutes of added time. This gentleman didn't seem to agree.
What a match.

He played well enough to earn another start next week. His goal was the type rarely seen on this team, a player dribbles past two defenders, and actually takes a shot.
Pretty good game. Lots of positives to take away. akinola looks like he belongs, osorio was effective, Bradley dominated, Jozy being his usual self. all good stuff. I wish Hamilton would be a bit more aggressive and hungry. He seems passive and unsure of what to do. Bad in game instincts. I thought chapman was pretty good though.
in general the team played well. Passing had good flow and good build up. An improvenement over the philly game,
Did anyone else find the tv broadcast really shine a light of freidl being super annoying? Fucking guy sounded worse than a jilted fan out there.
They took it down. What was it?
the supporters section looked and sounded loud and great - just packed back there - are Inebriatti back as it was completely filled behind the goal??
Did they mic up Toledo or place a mic right beside him? The “shit call” isn’t typical broadcast network sound.
